About the Project

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to revolutionize the agriculture industry, LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology has emerged as a game-changer for smart farming.

At strategic locations across the Maresme region, a series of LoRaWAN gateway antennas are being installed to provide free communications infrastructure for winemakers, micro-farmers, and the public.

LoRa technology enables transmission of important data, such as soil pH and moisture, from compatible, inexpensive smart sensors that have a battery life of up to 10 years and can reach where there is no internet or where Wi-Fi is not practical or affordable.

The LoRaWAN gateways receive sensor data and retransmit it to the ThingsNetwork™, which can then feed data to your apps, dashboards and analytical systems.

How It Works
